This week continued learning about cold places.  We looked at pictures of the Arctic and the children experimented with mixing paints to make lighter and darker shades of blue. They practised different collage techniques and compared tearing and cutting paper. They used these skills to create their own Arctic collage.

 

In PE, the children have been practising different types of rolls, pencil roll, egg roll and teddy bear roll.

 

In drawing club, we  watched the animation ‘Hello Pingu’ – which the children absolutely loved! The children designed their own igloos and thought of ways for Pingu trick the naughty penguins. 

We have been singing counting rhymes to help us work out 1 more and less, and even made our own current bun shop! The children have also had lots of fun playing maths games that showed them the composition of the number 5.

 

We braved the cold and had a short visit to the forest. The children had lots of fun pretending to be different animals that lived there and playing forest inspired games when we returned to the classroom.
